I bought this antique cabinet on FBMP for $25. The seller got it from an estate sale but the dimensions didnt fit their needs. I painted, stained the shelves, drawers and door, new hardware, etc…I wasn’t sure if I would keep or sell but I’m definitely keeping it. I love the character

He was there when I came into the world on March 25, 1977 and I was there when he moved on to the next, April 11, 2025. Alex L. Hackett Jr. was 91 years old.

My dad fought for everything he had in life. Nothing was ever given to him. He was determined to live life on his terms. The rules didn’t apply to him. They never did. Even as his health steadily declined in recent years, I think my dad believed he could strong arm himself into immortality. Dad had been living with congestive heart failure for many years. Last year he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s and dementia. About a year ago we moved in with them to help my mom with his care and upkeep of the house.

He suffered some sort of episode with his heart last Friday while he and my mom were eating dinner. From there his condition plummeted. It had been his wish to be cared for at home in his final days and that’s what we did. He was surrounded with love this week. My sisters were there every day with us by his side.

Witnessing his decline over the last seven days and providing his care with hospice support has been the most gut wrenching and exhausting experience of my life. You cant possibly know until you go through It.

My dad lived a full life and he held on as long as he could, much longer than most. We are so relieved he is at peace now. We will have a celebration of life sometime during the week after Easter. More details to come when those plans are settled in the coming days. ❤️

January 2025 vs. January 2021. (Scroll ⬅️📸) Back then I was 90 lbs heavier and long covid was wreaking havoc with my body. I was battling a long list of random and debilitating symptoms that doctors could not explain. Fortunately in the spring of 2022 I found a course of treatment that approached it as autoimmune. I’m not cured but my health has improved greatly. Shortly there after I set out on a weight loss journey with the assistance of surgery and GLP-1 medication. I am beyond grateful for medical intervention to weight loss. It has changed my life. Looking back, I don’t recognize the woman in the photos in 2021. I’m still getting to know the woman in the photos today.

If you are on a weight loss journey, here’s a piece of advice that your future self will thank you for… take pictures and take them every month or with some sort of regularity. You may not see the changes day to day when you look in the mirror. But photos are evidence of your progress even when the scale isn’t moving as quickly as you hope. I don’t even recognize the woman in 2021… it wasn’t that long ago but it also feels like a lifetime ago, someone else’s life.
